Boundary Awareness Training 3.0: Rural and Small Town Clergy
2026-05-07 08:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET — REGISTER HERE!

These trainings are for seasoned clergy who have already taken a 2.0 BAT. Often focused on a specific ministry experience, participants will practice new skills and workshop case studies with colleagues. We are currently developing this level of classes.

Rural & Small Town Clergy BAT ~ This explores what is unique (and not) about serving in a rural or small town setting and what particular practices encourage strong and healthy ministry.

Good professional boundaries allow ministry and those who do it to thrive with health and wholeness. Through the lens of clergy wellness, authorized ministers will renew their understanding of and develop skills for maintaining boundaries in an ever-shifting ministry landscape.

The cost for the training is: SNEUCC Clergy – $65.00; all other Clergy – $85.00.

If you have questions regarding the training please contact Deb Holmes at holmesd@sneucc.org or 508-244-4399. All trainings are listed in Eastern Time.

Class Details

Please note that registration closes 7 days before the session so that participants have ample time to do the pre-work, and classes are capped at 50 participants

Our Boundary Awareness Trainings combine teaching, skill building, small group discussion and personal reflection for a dynamic and collaborative experience. All levels of BAT are in alignment with best practices from the UCC, other denominations and secular professions. Breaks (and lunch when a full day) are included.

We incorporate clergy wellness in all our trainings. Why? Ministry is rewarding; it can also be stressful and demanding. Recent surveys have shown a significant increase in clergy burnout and desire to leave ministry. Clergy whose personal needs are not met in healthy and appropriate ways tend to blur, push or violate ministerial boundaries. A survey of clergy done by Rev. Dr. Jerry Streets found that “clergy who engaged in multiple and frequent self-care strategies experienced higher well-being than that clergy who did not engage in multiple and frequent self-care strategies.” We care about our clergy; we want them to be healthy and whole, for the sake of their ministries and their own belovedness.

Please check with your Association’s Committee on Ministry to inquire whether these trainings meet their requirement for maintaining UCC ministerial standing. You will receive a certificate of completion after the training; it is your responsibility to share this with your Association.

Why Clergy Wellness?

Ministry is rewarding; it can also be stressful and demanding. The last few years have only increased that likelihood. Recent surveys have shown a significant increase in clergy burnout and desire to leave ministry. Clergy whose personal needs are not met in healthy and appropriate ways tend to push and violate ministerial boundaries. A survey of clergy done by Rev. Dr. Jerry Streets found that “clergy who engaged in multiple and frequent self-care strategies experienced higher well-being than that clergy who did not engage in multiple and frequent self-care strategies.” We care about our clergy; we want them to be healthy and whole, for the sake of their ministries and their own belovedness.

What Participants Have Said

“The Boundary Training was superb! It was not only highly informative, but most importantly, you gave abundant tools for growing into more effective leaders. Learning about the connection between good self-care and maintaining the best of healthy boundaries is clearly at the heart of strong ministry.”
“This is the best boundary training I have ever attended. It was incredibly helpful to have a focus on mindfulness.”
“It’s a relief not to sit through the “same old” training.”
“While I was not happy to hear that I needed to have the training again at this time, I would report that I understand even better why it is necessary and encourage the church to continue to require it.”
“The care and modeling by the leaders of the training showing a respect, dignity, seriousness, humanness and professional skill to which we all aspire.”

Racial Justice for Authorized Ministers & Lay Leaders -- Foundations
2026-05-16 00:00 - 23:59 | Zoom
May 16th, 2026: Racial Justice for Authorized Ministers & Lay Leaders – Foundations

This 8-hour workshop is designed for both lay leaders and for Authorized Ministers who have not had racial justice training within the past 3 years and is recommended to Associations that require racial justice training.
Content includes:

A broad, but not comprehensive, introduction to race as a concept, racism and its various forms, and various forms of working toward racial justice. Particular attention is paid to Christian foundations for racism and the history of slavery and colonization in New England.
Participants will give attention to understanding themselves racially and unpack the stories their ministry settings tell in terms of race. This workshop utilizes caucus spaces for white people and people of color to discuss and explore their unique experiences of racialization.
Reflection on the power churches and other ministry settings have, and which Authorized Ministers wield as individuals, and how this power can be utilized for racial justice.

Learning outcomes:

Understand and articulate four realms of racism
Recognize the role of Christianity as a foundation and expression of racism
Gain insight into oneself as a racialized person and the racialization of your ministry setting
Identify forms of power available within your ministry setting and possibilities for action for racial justice
Learning takes place both as an individual and as a leader within your setting

Includes a 1 hour lunch break and a few shorter breaks throughout.
This training includes required pre-work, both reading and engaging in a response. Earlier offerings of this training included a dense history section in a primarily lecture format. Responding to participant feedback, we are shifting that material to pre-reading so that we can focus training time on digesting this material and making it relevant to you and your ministry setting. Your attention to the pre-work will affect your and your colleagues’ learning, so making adequate time for this work is appreciated. You will receive detailed instructions about this assignment about one month prior to the training date. This email will come from transform@sneucc.org (Center for Transformational Leadership).
This is an interactive workshop that requires active participation throughout, including through self-reflection and writing, small group discussion, and large group engagement. Please be sure you are in a setting that allows for this. Please note, attendance and participation in the full session is required to receive a certificate.

Culturally Responsive Ministry Training (CRMT) on Race -- May 2026 Session
2026-05-18 00:00 - 2026-05-22 23:59 | Zoom
You are invited to Culturally Responsive Ministry Training (CRMT) on Race, a six-hour learning experience designed to give pastors a better understanding of the importance of culture as we strive to better communicate a message of God’s love and acceptance for all. The CRMT on Race provides pastors with the tools to be more culturally responsive not just to new people exploring our churches for the first time, but also to long-standing members who come from various cultural backgrounds. The training concludes by breaking participants into racial affinity groups where white folks learn about the deep impact of microaggressions on our siblings of color, while people of color have the opportunity to check in about their ministry in a predominantly white denomination, and the impact of race/racism on it.
This training will be split between two evenings: Monday, May 18th at 4-7PM MDT, and Friday, May 22nd at 4-7PM MDT. Please click here to register via Zeffy.

Bishop Kristin G. Stoneking to Keynote UMARC 2026 Inclusiveness Celebration Breakfast

Laity and clergy are invited to hear Bishop Kristin G. Stoneking, United Methodist episcopal leader of the Mountain Sky Conference, Denver, keynote the 2026 Inclusiveness Celebration Breakfast, at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at Hope United Methodist Church in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
Tickets are $30 per person. Sponsored by the Association of United Methodist Retired Clergy (UMARC), registration is at www.umarc.org
“Bishop Stoneking’s leadership has modeled what it means to lead with courage, compassion, and hope during a time of transition,” said Rev. Dr. Donald E. Messer, UMARC Co-Chair. “Her voice brings theological depth and pastoral wisdom to our celebration of inclusiveness.”
The event will honor Rev. Dr. Joretta Marshall and Joy Allen as the 2026 recipients of the Bishop Karen Oliveto/Robin Ridenour Inclusiveness Award. Oliveto served as the denomination’s first openly lesbian bishop, and her wife, Robin Ridenour, is a United Methodist deaconess and nurse anesthetist. Marshall is a retired professor of pastoral care and counseling and former administrator at Iliff School of Theology, Eden Theological Seminary, and Brite Theological Seminary. Allen, a licensed clinical social worker, dedicated her career to counseling couples and leading marriage enrichment workshops nationwide. Together they courageously challenged discrimination against LGBTQ+ persons within the church and society.
The celebration will also include music by Daryl J. Walker of Park Hill United Methodist Church in Denver, remarks by the honorees, and video tributes from Rev. Amy Stapleton (St. Andrew UMC, Highlands Ranch, CO), Rev. John Thompson (Columbia, SC), and Rev. Dr. Donald E. Messer. Rev. Dr. Kay Palmer-Marsh of Longmont, Colorado, will preside.
UMARC friends can sponsor tables, honoring historic leaders in the movement for inclusion, including Bishop Melvin Wheatley, Bishop Mary Ann Swenson, Rev. Gilbert Caldwell, and Rev. Julian Rush.

Voyager Faith & Science Camp
2026-07-12 00:00 - 2026-07-18 23:59
Welcome to the second year of Voyager Faith & Science Camp! At Voyager Camp, youth are given the opportunity to be their truest selves and build a community of authenticity and support, which is often elusive around the preteen years in school.
Spirituality and science have for too long been seen as opposite ends of a spectrum, when really they are more like two lenses through which we can view the mystery and majesty of the universe. Albert Einstein said that the more he studied the universe the more he believed in a higher power. When you really get into the coolest and most cutting edge science, you can’t help but stand back in awe at the magic of it all! But don’t worry, all the fun and exploration built through generations of camp will still be there!
Trained counselors and staff will set the stage and hold space for a memorable week filled with laughter, music, reflection, self-exploration, and don’t forget the ropes course! Youth will form memories and friendships they’ll hold dear for the rest of their lives.
Tiered Pricing. Camperships available in any needed amount! Please visit this page to learn more and register.

Music, Art, Drama, and Dance (MADD) Camp
2026-07-12 00:00 - 2026-07-18 23:59
Music, Art, Drama, and Dance (MADD) Camp is an amazing week of intentional community and creativity. We believe that the arts and creative expression are incredible tools for experiencing and growing in our spirituality. ALL artistic skill-levels (really!) are present and welcome at MADD Camp. Along with engaging youth in intellectual faith conversations, we attempt to get youth “out of their heads” and into experiencing God (or the Holy, Divine, or transcendent) through creativity, nature, friendships, self-discovery, games, activities, and LOTS of fun. We find these moments to be the most powerful in helping young people to develop a lifelong faith, and a foundation of belief in themselves.
Like all of our camps and retreats for youth, MADD is an expansively welcoming and open environment. Trained staff help guide youth in engaging with their spirituality on their terms. The Refuge camps and retreats create a safe, brave space where youth can ask questions, explore their faith, and connect more deeply to themselves, each other, the earth, and the Holy- whatever that means to them.
